Maybe remembers the background abilities of status effects in Star Trek Fleet Command and maybe they don't. BUT, with new research dropping it's important to cover how these abilities work and how players can boost their strengths to make their gameplay better. Today's video discusses the new Star Path research tree to do just that!

Topics covered:

1. Listing what the original three status effects do in the background
2. Which star paths to take first!
3. Brief overview of the Nova Squadron building
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

Topics covered:

1. My opinion on whether or not you should (and whether I am) buy FC Lorca

Hey !

**Family Update Time**

**Birthdays!!**

So, my wife's birthday is this week (September) and mine is the start of next month (October). I want to do a couple of things for her and invite everyone here to do the same. She's been coming to the streams more and more and it's my hope that this continues!

First! If you'd like to write my wife a personalized thank you note/happy birthday gif/etc., I set up this board for everyone to remind her how amazing she is for putting up with me for 14 years! *All of you* are more than welcome to leave a note!

https://recocards.com/board/happy-birthday-mrs-93685577265

Secondly, if you want to buy a present for my wife or myself we ***WILL*** be doing a birthday stream and opening presents in October. We have a throne site set up where you can purchase (and recommend) gifts for either of us. Again, obviously no requirement, but if you would like to purchase something you can! Many of the times you can contribute towards if you don't want to buy the entire thing. (Example: I need a new graphics card and my wife wants a Kindle Paperwhite):

**School!**

All three kids are back in school, and as you can imagine, this is a tremendous relief to me and my wife haha. Hopefully the other parents here can understand. Dance starts for my daughter this week so she can get back into that and my sons are as rambunctious as ever!

**Movie Night**

For those that support my family on our website (https://revdeuce.com) one of the perks is movie night! I want to start doing some Star Trek movies with everyone so we'll start that semi-soon. Just a reminder for those who support/have that perk to make sure you're around and paying attention!

**THANK YOU**

As always, I simply cannot thank all of you enough. The people that watch videos, like, subscribe, donate, etc. Thank you for helping me take care and love my family. Thank you for being amazing friends. Thank you for being you.

It's been awhile since I presented this type of video to where we asked Scopely to really focus on an update to an older mechanic that needs some love. Today's video focuses on the Amalgam and it's loops. When it originally launched it breathed new life into base raiding while also giving every player a path to source cosmetics. Now, well, the options are very limiting and new things and updates are needed.

Topics covered:

1. Why I'm making this video and why I haven't made as many like it recently
2. Benefits of the Amalgam and how it can be made great again
3. Various projectile and ship skins that need sourcing
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

Welcome back to the channel as we go over Sir Alexander Dane and how he can be used for all players.

Topics covered:

1. The value of Dane for all players (below decks ability!)
2. How he can be useful for your MIrror grind
3. My ADD kicks in and we take down an ISS Enterprise with NSEA!

YES I'm aware the battlepass is still going, however, this second battlepass is stretching into the "interim" period. It is indeed time for us to judge Galaxy Quest and how it affected (positively or negatively) Star Trek Fleet Command.

Topics covered:

1. Some additions to the patch grading structure
2. All the additions to August 2024

Another 2 for 1 so that I'm not making watch two different videos. Let's just get all the info we can into one ten minute video! How's that for your efficiency research? Star Trek Fleet Command provides! In all seriousness, we're gonna go over the very nice (IMO) quality of life upgrade that recently released while at the same time going over some pretty serious issues that seem to be cropping up in the game.

Topics covered:
1. Common, Uncommon, & Ultra recruits and their sliders (and where else sliders should be)
2. The need for better action (not just communication) in STFC
3. 2024 Grades through 7 months
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

I honestly didn't realize how this video might indeed help before making it. After making an offhanded comment how this video wasn't highly requested my discord/Facebook became inundated with players letting me know they'd love to learn how to use multiple PC Client versions of Star Trek Fleet Command instead of having to rely on Emulators. So, here you go!

Topics covered:
1. The Community Mod lead dev, Netniv, sits down with me to walk you through step by step
2. Do you prefer my American accent or his bri'ish one?
3. Step by step instructions for set up and the batch file
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

It's been awhile since has seen an iteration of the Dabo Wheel in Star Trek Fleet Command! The wheel returns alongside a new event, the Digital Conveyer, as the Galaxy Quest arc continues through August here in 2024. With this video we go over the awards, scoring, and how to participate.

Topics covered:
1. Dabo structure: It's a heroic... so yes, it's very spend based

I saved this video for until the very end of the week. Starbase Assaults is often cited as being one of the worst features and "dead on arrival" since it's inception. Alliance Tournaments now is facing the same potential problem due to it's structure. The core concept is brilliant, but if the feedback content creators have gotten is accurate, it already needs an overhaul.

Topics covered:
1.The good: Quick responses to technical issues
2. The bad: Event structures and store set up.
3. Feedback from the top spenders in the game down to the F2P. Add your constructive feedback in the comments

The answer that is looking for is here! If you have had trouble completing the event "What is it's motivation" then watch this video to find the way to complete it to win syndicate XP and an Alan Rickman (character) avatar in Star Trek Fleet Command. In this video I give my thoughts on these style of events, where it gets it wrong (and in some ways right?) and of course asking player's opinion!

Topics covered:
1. Answer to the Cyphers and how to break it all down!
2. Why I think it should have been easier
3. What's your favorite role from this historically amazing actor?

I've been pretty excited to make this video for this week! This video unveils my Klingon Vor'cha and why, even at only Tier 2, it's already helping me accomplish new things in Star Trek Fleet Command. Let's discuss Gowron's flagship and what I'm using it for as well as potential drawbacks! (Prepare for increased repair costs!)

1. The Free To Play path to Gwen Demarco and the NSEA Protector
2. Most valuable items in Event Store

1. Total Upgrade Cost

In true Star Trek Fleet Command fashion, not every crewman you think would work, will work!

Topics covered:
1. Crewing and strategies for these kinda, but not, Chimera armadas
2. Beware the hazards!

In 2024, more is more, and has to just accept that quality IS quantity! (okay, you don't, but, be prepared for a 15 minute patch notes video lol). There are definitely some things hitting STFC that I believe have tremendous potential. That said, there are also needlessly complicated additions that might have some players scratching their heads. Let's discuss!

Topics covered:
1. Two features with great potential according to Rev (galactic invasions and alliance tournaments!)
2. Mirror Universe expansion. was it needed?
3. NSEA Protector

Well good afternoon and I hope you're ready to read about the new PVE mechanic coming into Star Trek Fleet Command during the month of August. Galaxy Quest is bringing with it Galaxy Invasions. Think of it like incursions in that those are server vs server, but now it's server vs NPC baddie. Let's go over the basics in this preview video!

Topics covered:
1. Basic premise of Galaxy invasion
2. New mechanic is (in part) for level 25+
3. Why are the Klingons the bad guys?!
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

Little delay for this one sorry about that, but the editing software (and other reasons) slowed me down. Today's video I discuss going to level 52 and I'm also more than happy to open up the comments section for those current G5 players to give some of their best advice for anyone in Star Trek Fleet command looking to move from G4 to G5! Even if they don't make a big jump like I did immediately!

Topics covered:
1. Commons and the Latinum problem
2. How my G4 ships set me up for G5
3. New loops?! Say it ain't so! (it's so!)

This was a bit of a difficult video to get out to today so bear with me and all the edits. Lots of lag on the US servers today, BUT, there are some really interesting things happening in the new game area of Star Trek Fleet Command that I think should be extended to the rest of the playerbase. What are those things you may ask? let me show you!

Topics covered:
1. Rewards for logging in everyday?! WHAT?!
2. ONE DOLLAR PACKS?! *faints*
3. Three free epic officers (and more) for new players

Good afternoon and here it is! Your July Mirror Universe Part 2 grading video! Did Star Trek Fleet Command have the worst event store month ever, or was it just bad for a select few? Were there good things? Did the PVP officers hit the mark? Were the QOL additions appreciated? Let's discuss!

Topics covered:
1. The value of the officers
2. Events vs Features. Did either make the game better?

Hey have you ever wondered "should I camp here?". Well, as long as you bring your bear spray, maybe! (ha, dad joke!). Seriously though, this is an extremely common question asked to content creators across the game. Scopely certainly is pushing players to upgrade. Are you completely free to play? Spender? Wrong answers don't really exist, but let's go over some of the basic logic.

Topics covered:
1. Should you upgrade for content: My opinion? No. I explain why
2. Basics of when to camp and why. Want more specifics? Head over to the discord or page!
3. Remember, there is no wrong way to play Star Trek Fleet Command as long as you're enjoying it!

There are 130,000+ players in the 30s and 40s in Star Trek Fleet Command, and while that isn't obviously it's still a large portion of the game! So, today we're going to discuss the USS Enterprise players can get at level 34 and whether it's still relevant today! We cover costs to unlock, upgrade, basic crewing and much more!

Topics covered:

1. The Enterprise for punching up! Beating Silents, Solo Armadas, and more!
2. The strongest ship ability in the game! (don't forget morale!)
3. Crewing for all purposes!
